5 Health Benefits Of Mandarin Oranges

1. Reduces Risk of Liver Cancer
The National Institute of Fruit Tree Science studied a Japanese population who ate a high number of mandarin oranges. In another study, a team at Kyoto Prefectural University of Medicine studied patients with hepatitis who drank mandarin juice for a year. Both of the studies showed that mandarin oranges reduced the chance of liver cancer.
2. Inhibits the Growth of Leukemia
Mandarin oranges contain tangeretin, a flavone found in citrus peels which studies have shown help reduce the risk of leukemia.
3. Reduces Risk of Hardened Arteries
Tangerines contain a powerful flavonoid known as nobiletin, which has been shown in a study to lessen the hardening of arteries, especially in diabetics.

4. Combats Breast Cancer

Both tangeretin and nobiletin were found to fight breast cancer cells, according to a study using the extract of the peel.
5. Full of Nutrients
They are an excellent source of Vitamin C, which is an antioxidant that helps prevent chemical damage to cells and helps keep the immune system healthy. They are also a good source of vitamin A, and a source of B-complex vitamins.

CRUSTLESS HOLIDAY APPLE PIE

Crustless Apple Pie

This crustless apple pie recipe is prepared within the apple for a Fall treat. Even novice bakers can make this seasonal dish from Marc Matsumoto on the Fresh Tastes blog. Be  choosey keep it simple.

Ingredients

• 35 grams rolled oats (1/3 cup)
• 35 grams all purpose flour (1/4 cup)
• 30 grams fine raw sugar (2 tablespoons) or brown sugar
• 1 gram salt (1/4 teaspoon)
• 43 grams unsalted butter (3 tablespoons), cut into small pieces
• 1 teaspoon of ice water + more if  needed
• 100 grams fresh ripe dates
• 1 teaspoon tapioca starch (sometimes called tapioca flour)
• 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg (or, use apple pie spices)
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 28 grams unsalted butter (2 tablespoons) melted
• 2 very large apples (about 420 grams each)

Directions

1. Put the oven rack in the middle position and preheat to 190 C (375 F).
2. Add the rolled oats, flour, sugar and salt to the bowl of a small food processor and pulse a few times to break up the oats.
3. Add the butter and pulse 1 second at a time until the mixture looks like a fine gravel.
4. Add the ice water and pulse until the mixture looks like a coarse gravel that’s barely coming together. Add a bit more water if needed.
5. Place the topping in the freezer while you work on the filling.
6. Remove the pits from the dates. The dates should be the consistency of a soft caramel. If you’re using dried dates, you may need to soak them in some boiling water for a few minutes to soften them up.
7. Mash the dates together with the tapioca starch, nutmeg, cinnamon, and melted butter.
8. Cut the apples in half from top to bottom and use a metal measuring spoon or melon scoop to remove the core. After the apple halves are cored, continue carving pieces of apple out and add the pieces to the date mixture. You want to leave at least 1 cm (1/3-inch) of apple around the skin so that the apple holds its shape while being baked.
9. Mix the date mixture and apples together until they are well combine and then divide the mixture into the apples.
10. Take the topping mixture out of the freezer and top each apple with it.
11. Place the stuffed apples on a parchment lined baking sheet and bake until the apples are soft and the topping is golden brown (about 35-45 minutes).

Yield: 4 apple halves (see his link to show how to cut apples i.e.)

CANDIED ORANGE PEELS.

Don't through the orange or lemon peels away, candy them for holiday gifts. (See more preppers pages https://www.pinterest.com/source/thehomesteadsurvival.com/ )

Garnished orange chocolate mousse with candied orange peels.  I could not resist making my own candied orange peels. As it turns out, candied orange peels are actually pretty easy to make. It is really just as simple as peeling some oranges, slicing the peels, simmering them in water and sugar until tender, tossing them in sugar and letting them dry.


Before simmering the peels in the water and sugar you can boil them in water one or more times to help reduce the bitterness.
The final step of drying the peels is going to take a day or two so you need to keep that in mind when making the candied orange peels.

For something that is so easy to make, these candied orange peels are addictively good! Candied orange peels are a citrus lovers heaven and you can candy pretty much any citrus fruits peel that you like. The crunchy sugary coating wraps around the soft, sweet pure orange flavour creating a pleasant contrast in texture. If you think that candied orange peels are good all by themselves.


 Then you have to try dipping them into a melted dark chocolate coating. Chocolate and orange is one of those classic flavour combinations and this is one of the best examples of it that I have ever had!

DRIED APPLE CHIPS

Dried Apple Chip (diet-snacks)

1. Cut off the ends of an apple, core out the middle (I don't), and thinly slice into ⅛-inch rounds. This is best done with a Mandoline Slicer, but you can also use a sharp knife.
2. Line a microwave safe plate with parchment paper.
3. Place a few apple slices on parchment paper in one single layer. (You will have to do this in batches.)
4. Microwave for 4.5 to 5 minutes, or until edges of apples start to curl up.
5. Flip each slice and continue to microwave for 30 seconds to 1 minute, or until edges are crisp.
6. Remove from microwave and let stand 10 minutes, or until crispy and dry.



PEEL or not?

7. Serve immediately.

Notes

All microwaves are different; start watching the apples at about the 4-minute mark until you can determine the proper time needed to bake the apples in your microwave.

If the apples are small, about 2-inches in diameter, decrease the time by 1-minute.

Yield: 4

You Will Need

• 4-5 cups vegetable oil, or other high smoke-point oil such as canola oil or peanut oil
